Dear participants,
In this topic I would like to pay attention to the need of a correct approach tagging the inhabited places related to its classification status: town – village. Namely, according to the conventions in key:place , the classification presented on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Macedonia recommends - the places to be tagged as:
• city (above 100.000 inhabitants);
• town (between 10.000 and 100.000 inhabitants);
• village (below 10.000 inhabitants).
This criterion, in my opinion, is not suitable here, because the classification of the places in Republic of Macedonia not depends on the number of their inhabitants. Whether a place will be treated either as a town or as a village in this country depends on the lifestyle in that place - urban or rural, i.e. it depends on that – by which kind of work activities the inhabitants in some place accomplish their existence: primary (agriculture) - in the villages, secondary, tertiary… activities – in the towns and cities.
By the Law on Territorial Organization of the Local Self-government in RM (??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??) article 10
http://www.pravo.org.mk/download/Zakoni/Teritorijalna_organizacija_na_lokalnata_samouprava_na_RM.pdf , in Republic of Macedonia there are 33 towns which are seats of the appropriate municipalities (without Skopje). The other 41 municipalities (34 - 74 without Skopje) are with seats in appropriate villages. And, 10 municipalities (of total 84) are in Skopje.
According to this law, towns are: Berovo, Bitola, Bogdanci, Valandovo, Veles, Vinica, Gevgelija, Gostivar, Debar, Del?evo, Demir Kapija, Demir Hisar, Kavadarci, Ki?evo, Ko?ani, Kratovo, Kriva Palanka, Kruševo, Kumanovo, Makedonska Kamenica, Makedonski Brod, Negotino, Ohrid, Peh?evo, Prilep, Probištip, Radoviš, Resen, Sveti Nikole, Struga, Strumica, Tetovo and Štip.
As for this classification, view also http://www.stat.gov.mk/glavna.asp?br=107 > ??? ?? ??? ? ??? ???.
By the way, I could not understand how is possible e.g. Kruševo to be classified out of category “towns” (that’s means it is a village) just because its number of inhabitants is below 10.000, even though that this place has 200 years long tradition of a town!
According to the exposed, in my opinion, we should take in view the above mentioned law classification of the places related to their status: town – villages, ignoring the key:place conventions.
